The Pioneer MVH X560BT radio has slightly increased in price from the previous version. But now it looks more expensive than it costs.
Mini-jack input and USB-port are located on the rear panel of the radio. Supports synchronization with devices on the Android operating system via bluetooth, which is also present in this radio. When synchronizing with an iPhone, it is possible to use the Siri voice assistant through the microphone on the front panel of the radio. But this function does not support the Russian language, therefore, without knowledgeEnglish, this "bun" from the manufacturer is useless.
On the front panel there is an LCD-screen with brightness control. The rockers for switching tracks are not the most convenient, but you can get used to them. The encoder is located between them. To the left of it are the buttons for receiving an incoming call, changing the playback mode (bluetooth, Aux, USB or radio). At the bottom of the display are buttons for favorite radio stations, the second function of these buttons is: pause, track repeat, playlist repeat, display backlight, play tracks mixed. To the left of these buttons is the cancel button.
The radio interface supports both English and Russian languages. The response to pressing the buttons in this radio is faster than on its counterparts. The equalizer has standard settings that are provided from the factory, and there are also two user settings slots in which you can adjust the level of high and low frequencies.
Low frequencies are at their best here. Even without a subwoofer, they are very clearly audible. The sound is impeccable, thanks to the built-in amplifier of 50 watts per channel, of which there are 4. This power is produced by a mosfet located on the amplifier board. In order to amplify the power, you can additionally connect both an amplifier and a subwoofer via the RCA connectors.
In the settings you can change the color of the backlight, since there are more than 200 thousand of them. The Pioneer MVH X560BT has a feature that automatically changes the backlight during music playback. It depends on the rhythm, the amount of bass and treble.
Radio tape recorder can beuse as a hands-free headset by connecting via bluetooth.
